Blixky was transported to the NYC Health & Hospitals/Kings County, where he was pronounced dead from his injuries.

Newsweek shared portions of a statement released by the New York Police Department, which stated: “On Sunday, May 10, 2020, at approximately 9.26 p.m., police responded to a 911 call of a male shot. Upon arrival, officers found an unconscious and unresponsive 21-year-old male, with gunshot wounds to his torso and buttocks.”

“EMS also responded to the scene and transported the individual to NYC Health and Hospitals/Kings County, where he was pronounced deceased. There are no arrests and the investigation remains ongoing.”

Blixky had posted a message for his fans earlier in the evening on May 10 on Instagram – just hours before he was fatally shot – to say that he’d be releasing his first mixtape, “Different Timin” on June 3.
